Hotel is located in very calm area, surrounded by gorgeous Norwegian wild forests. We have been here out of the main season, thanks to that hotel was pretty empty. For a special attention hotel restaurant deserves. Both breakfasts and dinners are prepared on the highest level. Breakfast is very diverse and beautifully served. You will definitely find something for yourself. For dinner we can have very limited number of dishes but those are amazing. I think it is advantage, because it makes you sure they are made of fresh ingredients. For a special attention deserves the waiter (bald man with a beard and huge muscles 😂). He was very talkative and helpful and professional 👏🏻. (He definitely deserves pay raise 😊) we felt really taken care of.

We stayed over Easter and enjoyed taking snow shoes (trygge) walks just a stone’s throw from the property. The staff were friendly and helpful and provided us with a paper map to Håtveitgrendi. Høydalsmo offers great ski tracks just 10 minutes’ drive from the hotel (if you use JPS, go for Høydalsmo barnehage or skule for a stress-free ride). Otherwise pretty much everything was closed during our stay, including Ski Adventure, located on the property. It’s really beyond my comprehension why on earth a ski museum would be closed in winter, only to be re-opened in May. Also the Olympic flame was only visible in the dark. The hotel’s restaurant was the only place to have dinner, since all the cafés and small taverns were closed for the season. Dinners were tasty, even though they followed a strict pattern of main courses. However, with just two days’ stay, it wasn’t a big issue. I loved taking a swim in the swimming pool before breakfast, which was a sensational experience with the view of snow-covered fields and hill tops outside. Unfortunately, sauna was hot just on the arrival day. The two following days, I made do with just swimming in the pool.

We stayed at superior suite and there was enough space for a family of three and a dog. There were some small nuisances, however. There were no bath robes, even though they were mentioned in the room description. We had candles, but the gas-lighter didn’t work. I put the sign “please, clean my room”, but the room service didn’t arrive. Even to change the towels. I didn’t bother to report these “accidents” to the reception. I wish I mentioned sauna, however.

One of the best hotel we stayed in during our road trip in Norway. Beautiful scenery. Little family hotel with all the comfort. Breakfast and dinner awesome. I would come back and stay there a bit longer especially in Winter would be great…

Nothing

Clean, very comfortable, pet-friendly, great location, big interior pool and jacuzzi, good breakfast, good wifi, good parking, great service, and good restaurant: perfect!

Everything was perfect!

Nice but old hotel. Very friendly and nice cleaning staff.

Breakfast the last morning lacked a bit compared to the other days, although there were two hours left of service. Also on the last night a large group of locals had some kind of party and dinner in the hotel, occupying the pool area with drinks and partying, making it very unwelcoming for families with children such as ours. Rooms are a bit on the small side when staying as a family of four for more than one night.

Breakfast good and dinner buffet was great.

For older people it is a bit long to be on top (5th) floor. 2 elevators and long walk. Were not guided to the elevator. Otherwise really liked our stay.

Everything was on point. The best add were the swimming pool and sauna - for sure! It was a chilly day and we were very tired so swimming, jacuzzi and sauna were like a gift from heaven. :) We were all alone, so it was even better. The breakfast was fabulous, especially baked salmon. The location is perfect, the staff was beyond friendly.

I have nothing negative to say.

Loved the décor of this property and would like to extend our stay but the hotel was fully booked for the following day. sadly we had to leave. Renovated room, clean, spacious, and comfortable. Great shower and amenities. Front desk gentleman was very welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. Decent wifi speed. Fancy dinner at the restaurant. one of the best hotels we stayed in Norway and would definitely return in the future.

It may be helpful to set up a tea/coffee station which also fits a mini fridge. Limited items at breakfast buffet.

Great scenic location in itself and a great base for travelling around Telemark. Hotel allows dogs, although only in room and to get to room. Swimming pool was great. Great breakfast. Hotel staff were really friendly.

Grounds could do with some love especially basketball court and mini-golf. Dinner needs to be booked at reception, which we didn’t know on our first night so it wasn’t a very welcoming entry to the restaurant! Food was good but menu very limited for kids, adding in some vegetables would make a big difference.

Loved the staff and the food very much! Tommy was an excellent front reception Host! He was so good at his job and made us feel so welcome and appreciated. 💙

I can't think of anything at all! The staff throughout the facility were great and the cleanliness and the great food was a cherry on top!
